My Criterion Top 10

My Criterion Top 10

As I blogged about a few months ago, the fine folks at The Criterion Collection asked me to join their list of monthly guests offering the “Top 10 Picks” of releases in their catalog. Well, August is my month, and you can find my list on the company’s MySpace page now. It’s on the lefthand sidebar. Two things to mention, though: 1. If it had been released in time, the Eric Rohmer collection (“Six Moral Tales”) would most certainly be on the list, and 2. When I refer to Do the Right Thing as a “war film,” I mean more in the sense of a “prisoner of war film.”
